The eagle was found stranded on the ground near Big Bear Lake and rescued by the L.A. County Parks & Recreation San Dimas Raptor Rescue Team. Initial examinations revealed that Jackie is underweight and has disheveled feathers but appears to have avoided major injuries such as broken bones. Further tests are being conducted to determine her overall health and whether she can return to her nest.
In the meantime, Jackie's partner Shadow continues to protect and care for their fledgling eaglets, Sandy and Luna. The cause of Jackie's injuries remains unclear but may involve a fight with two younger eagles or potential lead poisoning from ingesting fishing gear. According to The Guardian, observers spotted Jackie involved in a ground altercation with other subadult eagles on Friday.
Friends of Big Bear Valley expressed optimism about Jackie's recovery, stating that she is a strong eagle and the community will get through this. The Ojai Raptor Center is accepting donations for her care and has posted updates on its Facebook page. The center noted that a full medical assessment is currently underway.
